Sarah isn’t just standing up for herself, but for all victims of sexual assault and for all women. She is standing up to rape culture, to a society that asks victims to stay quiet, that asks them whether they were drinking or what they were wearing, instead of standing by them.

Sarah is our hero for a lot of reasons. Not just because she has a voice that the world needs to hear, but because she is so dedicated to helping other survivors find and use their voices, too.

We’re honored to stand by Sarah.

The very first thing you can say to a survivor is, ‘I’m sorry this happened to you.’
